Your Sunday adventure starts here!

Looking for a summer escape that's a little different? Get ready for an exciting adventure to the quirky and vibrant From Independent Market. An award-winning street market that offers a unique blend of art, food, fashion, and fun, it’s the perfect chance for anyone looking to explore, shop, and experience something different.

ResLife Ambassadors will be there to guide you on your train ride to and from Frome, and as you wander the stalls. There will be live music to enjoy, tasty food to try, and you may find some unique treasures to take home with you. As you walk, you’ll get to enjoy Frome’s friendly atmosphere and picturesque streets that make it the perfect Sunday escape.

So, get ready to wander, discover, and be inspired by all that Frome has to offer. We can’t wait to see you there.

Please be aware: You will be responsible for purchasing your own train tickets.

ResLife Ambassador Shirin will be ready to meet you outside Bath Spa train station at 10:25am, ready to catch the 10:35am train to Frome. You’ll be able to recognise them wearing a light blue t-shirt or hoodie with the ResLife logo on.


If you prefer to arrive earlier, you can wait outside the main entrance of the station where Shirin will join you.


While waiting for the train to arrive, there will be some unstructured time to introduce yourself to other people. If you need help with this, you can ask your RLA to introduce you to the other students attending.


At the end of the trip, you will catch the 2.04pm train from Frome, arriving at Bath at 3:29pm, ending the trip.

RLA Shirin will meet you outside Bath Spa station at 10:25am on Sunday morning ready to catch the 10:35am train to Frome. Don’t worry if you’re coming on your own, they’ll be there to introduce you to other students and make sure everyone is set for the trip.


Check out our tips for a successful market visit:

• Bring cards and cash. While some vendors may accept cards, it’s always a good idea to have cash on hand if you find anything you would like to buy.

• Dress comfortably. We’ll be walking around and exploring, so make sure you’re wearing comfy shoes.

• Bring a reusable bag. You might want to pick up a few treasures, so it’s handy to have something to carry them in.


Once you arrive at the market, you can choose to join our ambassador Shirin as they explore or you’re welcome to spend time by yourself at any point if you would prefer. Frome can get busy on market days, so if at any point you would like to find a quieter space to take a break let Shirin know and they will be happy to help.


If at any point during the trip you are struggling to participate or would appreciate extra support, please let ResLife Ambassador Shirin know and they will be happy to assist you.


At the end of the trip, you will catch the 2.04pm train from Frome, arriving at Bath at 3:29pm, ending the trip
